Default Re: How can YOU make this call?

Call because:

As BOTH hands are being turned up, the power in the casino could go out, and simultaneously the back-up generators could fail leaving the casino pitch dark and all the cards on the table get mixed up.

Split Pot. 1,000,000 back

After thank Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Matt Damon for the power failure.

I call to punish myself for being a fish by putting 500k at risk with less then the absolute nuts so I donate my last dollar before I quit poker forever.

And thats +EV for such a player [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I call because alot of good (+EV) things can happen when your pot odds are 1M:1. Your opponent could miss read your hand and push his cards into the muck or off the table. It could happen!

I snapcall and slam my cards to the felt, yelling "I got tha NUTS BABY!!!", just in case the power of my mind can change the cards. I know the odds of this are way less than one in a million, but I came to gamboooool!

Before anyone has a chance to see your opponents cards and register what they are very quickly say call and throw your cards into your opponents' cards (make sure they get mixed good) in effect killing both of your hands. The odds on the casino ruling both hands dead and chopping up the pot have to be better than 1 in 500,000.

first you have to demand that his hand be declared dead on account of his hand being prematurely exposed.

if that doesnt work, think long and hard so to maximize the chances of him dying at the table, or there being a power outage.

if they call the clock, your last ditch effort should be to table the cards and declare some winning hand. but dont put the dollar in or announce call. if he makes any motion to put his now exposed cards that is an apparent winner in the muck, you start up a new argument that his hand is dead. i mean, you just exposed your cards - you havent actually decided to call or fold yet.

Call, there isn't a player alive that would misread less than 1 in 1,000,000 hands.
